Today's small thought I met a new staff today at my workplace. She is a Nepal lady who works as a community support worker which is similar to a caregiver. She told me that she holds a master's degree of mathematics from Nepal. In Canada, where I live now, that is not uncommon to find things like this. I've met so many Indian man who are taxi drivers and have master's degrees. It is interesting and sad in a way, in my opinion.

<em>Terumi,</em>

 

<em>I also live in Canada and it is very true that it is sad to see such qualified people working in low paid jobs, mainly because they are immigrants. On a positive note I always hope that things will be better for their children when they need to find work later.</em>

 

<em>Well written :)</em>

 

<em>A couple of small corrections. In English you do not say "staff" when writing about an individual... it is:</em>

<em>"member of staff" or</em>

<em>"staff member".</em>

 

<em>When talking about degrees use "in" instead of "of". "degree in English, degree in history".</em>

 

<em>You say "that is not ucommon to find things like this". Using "that" would be OK if the sentence finished with "that is not ucommon" but as you continue it sounds better to replace "that" with "it".</em>

 

<em>Regards,</em>

 

<em>Jas</em>
